Slightly blurry vintage/VHS effect

Question

I don't know what to call this effect, but I am in love with the look of this: https://vimeo.com/280574752 music video.

Can anybody help me figure out how this effect might be created? I can almost detect a slight VHS effect since there is sometimes a green outline.

Thanks! :)

I don't know about Photoshop, but there are tons of resources for faking the vhs look in After Effects. — Joonas, Commented Feb 15, 2019 at 15:08

I think it's older than VHS, it mimics the effect created by the film irregular overexposure produced by the incidence of light through the time.

Using this as the original image:

You can add different layers with black and white clouds on top, screen mode, 10% opacity

And different backgrounds with Maximum filter effect

This is an example with just seven animation frames:
